ANNEX

STATEMENT BY THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

Violence and the threat of violence constitute a breach of the right to life, safety, freedom, dignity and physical and emotional integrity, and are a serious threat to the physical and mental health of the victims of such violence. The effects of such violence, being so widespread throughout the Community, constitute a genuine fundamental rights violation and health scourge and an obstacle to the enjoyment by all people of safe, free and just citizenship. The aim of the Daphne III programme is to prevent and combat violence against children, young people and women and to protect victims and groups at risk. With a view to furthering these aims, the European Parliament and the Council invite the European Commission to consider the possibility of an initiative for a European Year to combat violence against children, young people and women.

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 22 May 2007 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2007/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on environmental quality standards in the field of water policy and amending Directive 2000/60/EC

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 175 (1) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),

Whereas:

| (1) | Chemical pollution of surface water presents a threat to the aquatic environment with effects such as acute and chronic toxicity to aquatic organisms, accumulation in the ecosystem and losses of habitats and biodiversity, as well as threats to human health.
  As a matter of priority, causes of pollution should be identified and emissions should be dealt with at source, in the most economically and environmentally effective manner. |

| (6) | Directive 2000/60/EC lays down a strategy against pollution of water and Article 16 of that Directive requires further specific measures for pollution control and environmental quality standards (EQS). |
| --- | --- |

(6)

Directive 2000/60/EC lays down a strategy against pollution of water and Article 16 of that Directive requires further specific measures for pollution control and environmental quality standards (EQS).

| (7) | There have been numerous Community acts adopted since 2000 which constitute pollution control measures in accordance with Article 16 of Directive 2000/60/EC for individual priority substances. Moreover, many environmental protection measures fall under the scope of other existing Community legislation. Therefore
  , in the short term,
  priority should be given to implementation and revision of existing instruments rather than establishing new controls which may duplicate existing ones.
  However, following the transmission of the river basin management plans produced by the Member States pursuant to Article 13 of Directive 2000/60/EC, including the programme of measures established pursuant to Article 11 of that Directive, the Commission should assess whether the implementation and revision of existing instruments fully achieved the objectives of Directive 2000/60/EC, or whether specific action is required pursuant to that Directive. If compliance with EQS can be achieved only by means of restrictions on use or the banning of individual substances, such measures should be implemented by means of existing or new Community legal acts, in particular in the context of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency (6). |

| (11) | As the majority of other relevant Community acts have not yet been fully adopted and implemented, it is currently difficult to determine whether the implementation of those policies will enable the objectives of Directive 2000/60/EC to be achieved, or whether further Community action will still be needed. Consequently, it would be appropriate to carry out a formal evaluation of the consistency and effectiveness of all Community legislative acts contributing directly or indirectly to achieving good water quality. |

Among those priority substances, certain substances have been identified as priority hazardous substances which are subject to phase-out or cessation of emissions, discharges and losses.
  For substances occurring naturally or through natural processes, such as cadmium, mercury and poly-aromatic hydrocarbons, however, complete phase-out of emissions, discharges and losses from all potential sources is impossible.
  Some substances were under review and should be classified.
  Further substances should be added to the list of priority substances to achieve the objectives of Directive 2000/60/EC. |

| (14) | From the point of view of Community interest and for a more effective regulation of the surface water protection, it is appropriate that EQS are set up for pollutants classified as priority substances at Community level and to leave it to the Member States to lay
  down rules
  for remaining pollutants at national level subject to the application of relevant Community rules. Nonetheless, eight pollutants which fall under the scope of Council Directive 86/280/EEC of 12 June 1986 on limit values and quality objectives for discharges of certain dangerous substances included in List I of the Annex to Directive 76/464/EEC (9) and form part of the group of substances for which good chemical status should be achieved by 2015 were not included in the list of priority substances. However, the common standards established for those pollutants proved to be useful and it is appropriate to maintain the regulation of their standards at Community level. |

| (17) | The aquatic environment can suffer from chemical pollution both in the short term and in the long term, and therefore both acute and chronic effects data should be used as the basis for establishing the EQS. In order to ensure that the aquatic environment and human health are adequately protected, annual average quality standards should be established at a level providing protection against longterm exposure, and maximum allowable concentrations should be established to protect against short term exposure.
  The application of maximum allowable concentrations, in accordance with the combined approach laid down in Article 10 of Directive 2000/60/EC, the treatment of outliers in particular, and the determination of emission controls should be harmonised. |

| (18) | In the absence of extensive and reliable information on concentrations of priority substances in biota and sediments at Community level and in view of the fact that information on surface water seems to provide a sufficient basis to ensure comprehensive protection and effective pollution control, establishment of EQS values should, at this stage, be limited to surface water only. However, as regards hexachlorobenzene, hexachlorobutadiene and mercury, it is not possible to ensure protection against indirect effects and secondary poisoning by mere EQS for surface water at Community level. Therefore in those cases, EQS for biota should be set up. In order to allow Member States flexibility depending on their monitoring strategy they should be able either to monitor those EQS and check compliance with them in biota, or convert them into EQS for surface water. Furthermore, it is for Member States to set up EQS for sediment or biota where it is necessary and appropriate to complement the EQS set up at Community level.
  Moreover, sediment
  and biota remain important matrices for
  the
  monitoring
  of substances with significant accumulation potential and against whose indirect effect EQS for surface water currently offer no protection. Such monitoring should be carried out in order to advance the future technical and scientific work on EQS in sediment and biota for the monitored substances, where this is proven necessary. |

  of substances with significant accumulation potential and against whose indirect effect EQS for surface water currently offer no protection. Such monitoring should be carried out in order to advance the future technical and scientific work on EQS in sediment and biota for the monitored substances, where this is proven necessary.

| (21) | Dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are two groups of toxic substances that are persistent and bioaccumulative. Both groups of substances entail a considerable risk to human health and the environment, and have a highly negative impact on aquatic species and, therefore, on the viability of the fisheries sector. The Commission has, in addition, on various occasions stressed the need to include these substances in the list of priority substances. This Directive should therefore provide for their future inclusion in this list. |

| (23) | It is possible that EQS cannot be met in the vicinity of discharges from point sources because the concentrations of pollutants in discharges are usually higher than the ambient concentrations in water. Therefore, Member States should be enabled to take this fact into account when checking compliance with the EQS by identifying a transitional area of exceedance for each relevant discharge. In order to ensure that those areas are limited, Article 10 of Directive 2000/60/EC and other relevant provisions of Community law should apply to their identification. As developments in treatment techniques and technological innovation, such as best available techniques, may enable the concentration of pollutants in the proximity of points of discharge to be diminished in the future, Member States should ensure that the transitional areas of exceedance are reduced accordingly. |

Further, a timetable for cessation or phase-out, and reduction, can only be related to an inventory. It should also be possible to assess the application of Article 4(4) to (7) of Directive 2000/60/EC. An appropriate tool is equally needed for quantification of losses of substances occurring naturally, or produced through natural processes, in which case complete cessation or phase-out from all potential sources is impossible. In order to meet those needs, each Member State should establish an inventory of emission, discharges and losses for each river basin in its territory. |

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Subject matter

This Directive lays down
  measures to limit water pollution, as well as
  environmental quality standards for priority
  substances in order to:

| (a) | reduce discharges, emission and losses of priority substances by 2015; and |
| --- | --- |

(a)

reduce discharges, emission and losses of priority substances by 2015; and

| (b) | cease discharges, emission and losses of priority hazardous substances, in accordance with Articles 1, 4 and 16 of Directive 2000/60/EC, to achieve a good chemical status for all surface waters. The aim is also to prevent any further deterioration and by 2020 to achieve concentrations close to the natural background levels for all naturally occurring substances and concentrations close to zero for all anthropogenic synthetic substances in accordance with international agreements on the protection of the sea. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

cease discharges, emission and losses of priority hazardous substances, in accordance with Articles 1, 4 and 16 of Directive 2000/60/EC, to achieve a good chemical status for all surface waters. The aim is also to prevent any further deterioration and by 2020 to achieve concentrations close to the natural background levels for all naturally occurring substances and concentrations close to zero for all anthropogenic synthetic substances in accordance with international agreements on the protection of the sea.

Objectives set out in this Directive are to be treated as objectives under Article 4 of Directive 2000/60/EC.

The Commission shall, in accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 21(2) of Directive 2000/60/EC, present to the European Parliament and the Council, by 2020, a report on the success of implementation of this Directive.

Article 2

Environmental quality standards

1.   
  In order to achieve a good chemical status for bodies of surface water pursuant to Article 4(1)(a) of Directive 2000/60/EC,
  Member States shall ensure that the composition of
  those bodies of
  surface
  water, sediment and biota
  complies with environmental quality standards for priority
  substances as
  laid down in Part A of Annex I.

Member States shall at all times take the measures required to ensure that plants which discharge into bodies of water waste water containing priority substances employ the best available production and waste water treatment techniques. These measures shall be based on the results of the exchange of information provided for in Article 16(2) of Directive 96/61/EC.

Member States shall ensure compliance with the environmental quality standards in accordance with the requirements laid down in Part B of Annex I.

Member States must improve the knowledge and data available on sources of priority substances and ways in which pollution occurs in order to identify targeted and effective control options.

2.
     
  Where a watercourse passes through more than one Member State, coordination of the monitoring programmes and of the national inventories compiled shall take place in order to avoid penalising Member States located downstream.

3.   Member States
  shall, in
  accordance with Article 8 of Directive 2000/60/EC,
  monitor
  concentrations of substances listed in Part A of Annex I in water,
  sediment and biota.

4.   Member States shall ensure that the following concentrations of hexachlorobenzene, hexachlorobutadiene and mercury are not exceeded in prey tissue (wet weight) of fish, molluscs, crustaceans and other biota:

| (a) | 10 μg/kg for hexachlorobenzene, |
| --- | --- |

(a)

10 μg/kg for hexachlorobenzene,

| (b) | 55 μg/kg for hexachlorobutadiene, |
| --- | --- |

(b)

55 μg/kg for hexachlorobutadiene,

| (c) | 20 μg/kg for methyl-mercury. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

20 μg/kg for methyl-mercury.

For the purposes of monitoring of the compliance with the environmental quality standards of substances listed in the first subparagraph, the Member States shall either introduce a more stringent standard for water replacing the one listed in Part A of Annex I, or set up an additional standard for biota.

Monitoring of other substances in Annex I may also be performed in sediment or biota instead of in water if Member States consider this to be more adequate and cost-effective. If significant concentrations of substances are detected and Member States consider that there is a risk that the environmental quality standards for water will not be met, monitoring in water shall be performed to ensure compliance with the environmental quality standards for water.

5.
     
  The Commission shall, no later than 12 months after the submission of the inventories by the Member States, make a proposal concerning quality standards applicable to the concentrations of the priority substances in sediment and biota.

6.
     
  Member States shall comply with Directive 98/83/EC and shall manage the surface water bodies used for the abstraction of drinking water in accordance with Article 7 of Directive 2000/60/EC. This Directive shall therefore be implemented without prejudice to provisions which may require more stringent standards.

7.
     
  Cases in which compliance with environmental quality standards is not technically feasible, or would lead to disproportionate social or economic costs, shall be dealt with under Article 4(4), (5) and (6) of Directive 2000/60/EC, in order to determine the most cost-effective and environmentally acceptable approach to complying with the objective as set out in Article 4(1)(a) of Directive 2000/60/EC.

8.   The Commission shall
  , systematically using the database established under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 to screen for substances that are harmful to water organisms, accumulate or are persistent,
  examine technical and scientific progress, including the conclusions of risk assessments as referred to in points (a) and (b) of Article 16 (2) of Directive 2000/60/EC
  and propose at least every four years
  the revision of the environmental quality standards laid down in Part A of Annex I to this Directive.

The Commission shall examine the most recent scientific information and technical progress regarding substances accumulating in sediment and biota and shall prepare environmental quality standards concerning them.

9.   
  In order to achieve a cohesive and harmonised calculation method,
  the Commission
  shall,
  in accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 21(2) of Directive 2000/60/EC,
  not later than ... (21),
  set
  up compulsory methodologies at least for the matters
  referred to in the second paragraph of point 3 of Part B of Annex I to this Directive.

10.
     
  If bans on substances are needed in order to secure compliance with environmental quality standards, the Commission shall submit suitable proposals to amend existing legal acts or establish new legal acts at Community level.

11.
     
  If, with a view to enforcing the polluter-pays principle and the precautionary principle and to securing uniform implementation in the Member States, emission limit values valid throughout the Community are needed for specific plants, substances or point sources, or if such emission limit values can be effective in securing compliance with environmental quality standards, the Commission shall put forward proposals in accordance with Article 18 of Directive 96/61/EC.

Article 3

To achieve the objective set out in Article 2, Member States may impose more stringent restrictions on the use or discharge of substances than those set out in Directive 91/414/EEC and in Regulation (EC) No .../... of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (22) which replaces it, or in other Community legislation.

Article 4

Transitional area of exceedance

1.   
  If there is no technically feasible means of adequately purifying waste water from one or more point sources,
  Member States shall designate transitional areas of exceedance, where the concentrations of one or more pollutants
  at low flow conditions
  exceed the relevant environmental quality standards in so far as they do not affect the compliance of the rest of the surface water body with those standards.

Member States shall include an action plan to reduce the extent and duration of each transitional area of exceedance within the river basin management plans referred to in Article 13 of Directive 2000/60/EC in order to comply with the relevant environmental quality standards by 2018 at the latest.

2.   Member States shall delimit in each case the extent of the parts of the surface water bodies adjacent to the points of discharge to be classed as transitional areas of exceedance, taking into account the relevant provisions of Community law.

Member States shall include a description of each delimitation in their river basin management plans referred to in Article 13 of Directive 2000/60/EC.

3.
     
  In the case of cross-border watercourses the consent of the other affected Member States shall be required for determining the transitional area of exceedance.

4.   Member States shall carry out the review of the permits referred to in Directive 96/61/EC or of the prior regulations referred to in Article 11(3)(g) of Directive 2000/60/EC with a view to progressively reducing the extent of each transitional area of exceedance, as referred to in paragraph 1, identified in water bodies affected by discharges of priority substances.

5.   The Commission
  shall
  , in accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 21(2) of Directive 2000/60/EC, set up the method to be used by the Member States for the identification of the transitional area of exceedance.

Article 5

Emission control methods to be used by Member States

1.
     
  To achieve the objectives of Article 1, Member States shall establish integrated plans for emission control and phase-out measures for priority substances and priority hazardous substances in the framework of the programme of measures provided for in Article 11 of Directive 2000/60/EC. The plans shall contain at least:

| (a) | the results of the investigations according to Article 6 of this Directive; |

2.
     
  The plans should be drafted according to transparent criteria and revised in the framework of the revision of the programmes of measures. Member States shall report to the Commission and the public every three years on the progress of the implementation and on how the measures have contributed to achieving the objectives of this Directive.

Article 6

Inventory of emissions, discharges and losses

1.   On the basis of the information collected in accordance with Articles 5 and 8 of Directive 2000/60/EC
  or other available data,
  and under Regulation (EC) No 166/2006, Member States shall establish an inventory,
  including maps where applicable,
  of emissions, discharges and losses
  and of their sources of
  priority substances
  (both point and diffuse sources of pollution)
  and pollutants listed
  in Annex II or
  in Part A of Annex I for each river basin or its part within their territory
  , including their concentrations in sediment and biota. Priority substances and pollutants released from sediments as the result of shipping, dredging or natural phenomena shall not be regarded as losses.

Member States shall include all emission control measures taken for priority substances listed in Part A of Annex I in the inventory.

2.
     
  Member States shall draw up specific monitoring programmes for sediments and biotas, identifying the species and tissues to be analysed and the form in which the results are to be expressed, in line with the organisms' seasonal variations.

3.   The reference period for the measurement of pollutant values to be entered in the inventories referred to in paragraph 1 shall be one year between 2007 and 2009.

However, for priority substances or pollutants covered by Directive 91/414/EEC, the entries may be calculated as the average of the years 2007, 2008 and 2009.

In preparing their inventories, Member States may use information on emissions, discharges and losses that has been collected since the entry into force of Directive 2000/60/EC provided that such information meets the same quality requirements as apply to the information referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article.

4.   Member States shall communicate the inventories established pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Article, including the respective reference periods, to the Commission together with the river basin management plans reported in accordance with Article 15(1) of Directive 2000/60/EC.

5.   Member States shall update their inventories as part of the reviews of the analyses specified in Article 5(2) of Directive 2000/60/EC.

The reference period for the establishment of values in the updated inventories shall be the year before that analysis is to be completed. For priority substances or pollutants covered by Directive 91/414/EEC, the entries may be calculated as the average of the three years before the completion of that analysis.

Member States shall publish the updated inventories in their updated river basin management plans as laid down in Article 13(7) of Directive 2000/60/EC.

6.
     
  As emissions, discharges and losses of priority substances must be progressively reduced or cease, it is necessary that Member States accompany their inventory with a suitable timetable for achieving those objectives.

7.   The Commission shall verify
  by 2015
  that emissions, discharges and losses as reflected in the inventory
  can be expected to
  comply, by 2025, with the reduction

PART B: Compliance with Environmental Quality Standards (EQS)

1. Columns 4 and 5: For any given surface water body, compliance with EQS-AA requires that for each representative monitoring point within the water body, the arithmetic mean of the concentrations measured at different times during the year is below the standard.

2. Columns 6 and 7: For any given surface water body compliance with EQS-MAC means that the measured concentration at any representative monitoring point within the water body must not exceed the standard.

3. With the exception of cadmium, lead, mercury and nickel (hereinafter ‘metals’) the EQS set up in this Annex are expressed as total concentrations in the whole water sample. In the case of metals the EQS refers to the dissolved concentration, i.e. the dissolved phase of a water sample obtained by filtration through a 0,45 μm filter or any equivalent pre-
  treatment.

Natural
  background concentrations for metals
  shall be added to
  the EQS value.
  In addition
  , if hardness, pH or other water quality parameters affect the bioavailability of metals, Member States may take this into account when assessing the monitoring results against the EQS.
  The natural background concentrations for metals in inland surface waters and coastal waters shall be determined taking account in particular of the soil and of natural washing-out in river basins. The Member States shall report in their river basin management plans on the natural background concentrations of metals and on how the background concentrations of metals have been taken into account in assessing results against the EQS.

---

(1)  This parameter is the Environmental Quality Standard expressed as an annual average value (EQS-AA).

(2)  This parameter is the Environmental Quality Standard expressed as a maximum allowable concentration (EQS-MAC). Where the MAC-EQS are marked as ‘not applicable’, the AA-EQS values are also protective against short-term pollution peaks since they are significantly lower than the values derived on the basis of acute toxicity.

(3)  For the group of priority substances covered by brominated diphenylethers (No 5) listed in Decision No 2455/2001/EC, an EQS is established only for pentabromodiphenylether.

(4)  For Cadmium and its compounds (No 6) the EQS values vary dependent upon the hardness of the water as specified in five class categories (Class 1: <40 mg CaCO3/l, Class 2: 40 to <50 mg CaCO3/l, Class 3: 50 to <100 mg CaCO3/l, Class 4: 100 to <200 mg CaCO3/l and Class 5: ≥200 mg CaCO3/l).

(5)  For the group of priority substances of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) (No 28), each individual EQS shall be complied with, i.e. the EQS for Benzo(a)pyrene and the EQS for the sum of Benzo(b)fluoranthene and Benzo(k)fluoranthene and the EQS for the sum of Benzo(g, h, i)perylene and Indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene must be met.

ANNEX

EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT — COUNCIL — COMMISSION — JOINT DECLARATION ON PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE CODECISION PROCEDURE (ARTICLE 251 OF THE EC TREATY)

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

1. The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission, hereinafter referred to collectively as ‘the institutions’, note that current practice involving talks between the Council Presidency, the Commission and the chairs of the relevant committees and/or rapporteurs of the European Parliament and between the cochairs of the Conciliation Committee has proved its worth.

2. The institutions confirm that this practice, which has developed at all stages of the codecision procedure, must continue to be encouraged. The institutions undertake to examine their working methods with a view to making even more effective use of the full scope of the codecision procedure as established by the EC Treaty.

3. This Joint Declaration clarifies these working methods, and the practical arrangements for pursuing them. It complements the Interinstitutional Agreement on Better Lawmaking (1) and notably its provisions relating to the co-decision procedure. The institutions undertake fully to respect such commitments in line with the principles of transparency, accountability and efficiency. In this respect, the institutions should pay particular attention to making progress on simplification proposals while respecting the acquis communautaire.

4. The institutions shall cooperate in good faith throughout the procedure with a view to reconciling their positions as far as possible and thereby clearing the way, where appropriate, for the adoption of the act concerned at an early stage of the procedure.

5. With that aim in view, they shall cooperate through appropriate interinstitutional contacts to monitor the progress of the work and analyse the degree of convergence at all stages of the codecision procedure.

6. The institutions, in accordance with their internal rules of procedure, undertake to exchange information regularly on the progress of codecision files. They shall ensure that their respective calendars of work are coordinated as far as possible in order to enable proceedings to be conducted in a coherent and convergent fashion. They will therefore seek to establish an indicative timetable for the various stages leading to the final adoption of different legislative proposals, while fully respecting the political nature of the decision making process.

7. Cooperation between the institutions in the context of codecision often takes the form of tripartite meetings (‘trilogues’). This trilogue system has demonstrated its vitality and flexibility in increasing significantly the possibilities for agreement at first and second reading stages, as well as contributing to the preparation of the work of the Conciliation Committee.

8. Such trilogues are usually conducted in an informal framework. They may be held at all stages of the procedure and at different levels of representation, depending on the nature of the expected discussion. Each institution, in accordance with its own rules of procedure, will designate its participants for each meeting, define its mandate for the negotiations and inform the other institutions of arrangements for the meetings in good time.

9. As far as possible, any draft compromise texts submitted for discussion at a forthcoming meeting shall be circulated in advance to all participants. In order to enhance transparency, trilogues taking place within the European Parliament and Council shall be announced, where practicable.

10. The Council Presidency will endeavour to attend the meetings of the parliamentary committees. It will carefully consider any request it receives to provide information related to the Council position, as appropriate.

FIRST READING

11. The institutions shall cooperate in good faith with a view to reconciling their positions as far as possible so that, wherever possible, acts can be adopted at first reading.

Agreement at the stage of first reading in the European Parliament

12. Appropriate contacts shall be established to facilitate the conduct of proceedings at first reading.

13. The Commission shall facilitate such contacts and shall exercise its right of initiative in a constructive manner with a view to reconciling the positions of the European Parliament and the Council, with due regard for the balance between the institutions and the role conferred on it by the Treaty.

14. Where an agreement is reached through informal negotiations in trilogues, the chair of Coreper shall forward, in a letter to the chair of the relevant parliamentary committee, details of the substance of the agreement, in the form of amendments to the Commission proposal. That letter shall indicate the Council's willingness to accept that outcome, subject to legal-linguistic verification, should it be confirmed by the vote in plenary. A copy of that letter shall be forwarded to the Commission.

15. In this context, where conclusion of a dossier at first reading is imminent, information on the intention to conclude an agreement should be made readily available as early as possible.

Agreement at the stage of Council common position

16. Where no agreement is reached at the European Parliament's first reading, contacts may be continued with a view to concluding an agreement at the common position stage.

17. The Commission shall facilitate such contacts and shall exercise its right of initiative in a constructive manner with a view to reconciling the positions of the European Parliament and the Council, with due regard for the balance between the institutions and the role conferred on it by the Treaty.

18. Where an agreement is reached at this stage, the chair of the relevant parliamentary committee shall indicate, in a letter to the chair of Coreper, his recommendation to the plenary to accept the Council common position without amendment, subject to confirmation of the common position by the Council and to legal-linguistic verification. A copy of the letter shall be forwarded to the Commission.

SECOND READING

19. In its statement of reasons, the Council shall explain as clearly as possible the reasons that led it to adopt its common position. During its second reading, the European Parliament shall take the greatest possible account of those reasons and of the Commission's position.

20. Before transmitting the common position, the Council shall endeavour to consider in consultation with the European Parliament and the Commission the date for its transmission in order to ensure the maximum efficiency of the legislative procedure at second reading.

Agreement at the stage of second reading in the European Parliament

21. Appropriate contacts will continue as soon as the Council common position is forwarded to the European Parliament, with a view to achieving a better understanding of the respective positions and thus to bringing the legislative procedure to a conclusion as quickly as possible.

22. The Commission shall facilitate such contacts and give its opinion with a view to reconciling the positions of the European Parliament and the Council, with due regard for the balance between the institutions and the role conferred on it by the Treaty.

23. Where an agreement is reached through informal negotiations in trilogues, the chair of Coreper shall forward, in a letter to the chair of the relevant parliamentary committee, details of the substance of the agreement, in the form of amendments to the Council common position. That letter shall indicate the Council's willingness to accept that outcome, subject to legal-linguistic verification, should it be confirmed by the vote in plenary. A copy of that letter shall be forwarded to the Commission.

CONCILIATION

24. If it becomes clear that the Council will not be in a position to accept all the amendments of the European Parliament at second reading and when the Council is ready to present its position, a first trilogue will be organised. Each institution, in accordance with its own rules of procedure, will designate its participants for each meeting and define its mandate for the negotiations. The Commission will indicate to both delegations at the earliest possible stage its intentions with regard to its opinion on the European Parliament's second reading amendments.

25. Trilogues shall take place throughout the conciliation procedure with the aim of resolving outstanding issues and preparing the ground for an agreement to be reached in the Conciliation Committee. The results of the trilogues shall be discussed and possibly approved at the meetings of the respective institutions.

26. The Conciliation Committee shall be convened by the President of the Council, with the agreement of the President of the European Parliament and with due regard to the provisions of the Treaty.

27. The Commission shall take part in the conciliation proceedings and shall take all the necessary initiatives with a view to reconciling the positions of the European Parliament and the Council. Such initiatives may include, draft compromise texts having regard to the positions of the European Parliament and of the Council and with due regard for the role conferred upon the Commission by the Treaty.

28. The Conciliation Committee shall be chaired jointly by the President of the European Parliament and the President of the Council. Committee meetings shall be chaired alternately by each co-chair.

29. The dates and the agendas for the Conciliation Committee's meetings shall be set jointly by the cochairs with a view to the effective functioning of the Conciliation Committee throughout the conciliation procedure. The Commission shall be consulted on the dates envisaged. The European Parliament and the Council shall set aside, for guidance, appropriate dates for conciliation proceedings and shall notify the Commission thereof.

30. The co-chairs may put several dossiers on the agenda of any one meeting of the Conciliation Committee. As well as the principal topic (‘B-item’), where agreement has not yet been reached, conciliation procedures on other topics may be opened and/or closed without discussion on these items (‘A-item’).

31. While respecting the Treaty provisions regarding time-limits, the European Parliament and the Council shall, as far as possible, take account of scheduling requirements, in particular those resulting from breaks in the institutions' activities and from the European Parliament's elections. At all events, the break in activities shall be as short as possible.

32. The Conciliation Committee shall meet alternately at the premises of the European Parliament and the Council, with a view to an equal sharing of facilities, including interpretation facilities.

33. The Conciliation Committee shall have available to it the Commission proposal, the Council common position and the Commission's opinion thereon, the amendments proposed by the European Parliament and the Commission's opinion thereon, and a joint working document by the European Parliament and Council delegations. This working document should enable users to identify the issues at stake easily and to refer to them efficiently. The Commission shall, as a general rule, submit its opinion within three weeks of official receipt of the outcome of the European Parliament's vote and at the latest by the commencement of conciliation proceedings.

34. The co-chairs may submit texts for the Conciliation Committee's approval.

35. Agreement on a joint text shall be established at a meeting of the Conciliation Committee or, subsequently, by an exchange of letters between the co-chairs. Copies of such letters shall be forwarded to the Commission.

36. If the Conciliation Committee reaches agreement on a joint text, the text shall, after legal-linguistic finalisation, be submitted to the co-chairs for formal approval. However, in exceptional cases in order to respect the deadlines, a draft joint text may be submitted to the co-chairs for approval.

37. The co-chairs shall forward the approved joint text to the Presidents of the European Parliament and of the Council by means of a jointly signed letter. Where the Conciliation Committee is unable to agree on a joint text, the co-chairs shall notify the Presidents of the European Parliament and of the Council thereof in a jointly signed letter. Such letters shall serve as an official record. Copies of such letters shall be forwarded to the Commission for information. The working documents used during the conciliation procedure will be accessible in the Register of each institution once the procedure has been concluded.

38. The Secretariat of the European Parliament and the General- Secretariat of the Council shall act jointly as the Conciliation Committee's secretariat, in association with the Secretariat-General of the Commission.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

39. Should the European Parliament or the Council deem it essential to extend the time-limits referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty, they shall notify the President of the other institution and the Commission accordingly.

40. Where an agreement is reached at first or second reading, or during conciliation, the agreed text shall be finalised by the legal-linguistic services of the European Parliament and of the Council acting in close cooperation and by mutual agreement.

41. No changes shall be made to any agreed texts without the explicit agreement, at the appropriate level, of both the European Parliament and the Council.

42. Finalisation shall be carried out with due regard to the different procedures of the European Parliament and the Council, in particular with respect to deadlines for conclusion of internal procedures. The institutions undertake not to use the time-limits laid down for the legal-linguistic finalisation of acts to reopen discussions on substantive issues.

43. The European Parliament and the Council shall agree on a common presentation of the texts prepared jointly by those institutions.

44. As far as possible, the institutions undertake to use mutually acceptable standard clauses to be incorporated in the acts adopted under codecision in particular as regards provisions concerning the exercise of implementing powers (in accordance with the ‘comitology’ decision (2)), entry into force, transposition and the application of acts and respect for the Commission's right of initiative.

45. The institutions will endeavour to hold a joint press conference to announce the successful outcome of the legislative process at first or second reading or during conciliation. They will also endeavour to issue joint press releases.

46. Following adoption of a legislative act under the codecision procedure by the European Parliament and the Council, the text shall be submitted, for signature, to the President of the European Parliament and the President of the Council and to the Secretaries-General of those institutions.

47. The Presidents of the European Parliament and the Council shall receive the text for signature in their respective languages and shall, as far as possible, sign the text together at a joint ceremony to be organised on a monthly basis with a view to signing important acts in the presence of the media.

48. The jointly signed text shall be forwarded for publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. Publication shall normally follow within two months of the adoption of the legislative act by the European Parliament and the Council.

49. If one of the institutions identifies a clerical or obvious error in a text (or in one of the language versions thereof), it shall immediately notify the other institutions. If the error concerns an act that has not yet been adopted by either the European Parliament or the Council, the legal-linguistic services of the European Parliament and the Council shall prepare the necessary corrigendum in close cooperation. Where this error concerns an act that has already been adopted by one or both of those institutions, whether published or not, the European Parliament and the Council shall adopt, by common agreement, a corrigendum drawn up under their respective procedures.

The EU in global competition

| 1. | Considers that trade policy is an indispensable component of any strategy the objective of which is to stimulate growth and create jobs through improving Europe's competitiveness; welcomes, therefore, the Commission's abovementioned communication on Global Europe: competing in the world as an important contribution to the renewed Lisbon agenda; |

| 2. | Considers that the development of trade is not an end in itself, but must be assessed in the light of its impact on economic growth, employment and sustainable development; points out that an analysis of European economic competitiveness, instead of solely focusing on trade figures, should also focus on the proportion of total world output achieved by European producers and on employment trends; |

| 4. | Considers that greater external competitiveness is vital if the Lisbon growth and employment goals are to be attained; believes that the EU, when taking external action, must encourage reform and international cooperation in the economic sphere so as to create a favourable business environment and promote sustainable development worldwide; intends, to that end, to work towards greater consistency and compatibility in its macroeconomic policies, improved monetary and financial security, cooperation in tax matters and the elimination of unfair tax competition; |

| 5. | Considers it necessary, firstly, to pursue a monetary policy based on price stability so as to be able to finance technological progress and to assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by enabling them to enter markets outside the euro-zone; secondly, to establish business-friendly taxation systems that are likely to increase the number of start-ups and, to that end, to cut taxes that undermine efficiency and impede job creation, especially for particular social groups such as women, the long-term unemployed, and the elderly; and, thirdly, to increase competition on the internal market, bearing in mind that the fiercer competition is within the EU, the more able EU-based companies will be to compete outside the EU; |

| 6. | Is convinced that the social model that remains at the base of European industrial relations has enabled the EU to maintain a high degree of global competitiveness vis-à-vis its main competitors; considers that the biggest challenge facing the EU is to uphold the functioning of that social model despite existing pressure, in increasingly competitive global markets, to further lower the social and environmental costs of production; |

| 7. | Believes that the benefits of an open trading system outweigh its potentially disruptive impact; considers, therefore, that the EU should continue to strive to complete the single market, continue to promote increased global liberalisation and free and fair trade and resist protectionism; also believes, however, that its potentially disruptive impact on certain sectors, regions and countries, such as the effects of displacement and relocation, cannot be disregarded; |
